The Chick-fil-A Dance Video That Has Gone Viral

The tribute kickoff was only the beginning of a Texas team's choreographed sequence that wowed attendees — and the internet

A Texas high school dance team is encouraging fans to “Eat mor chikin” in a Chick-fil-A-themed recital that has gone viral on Facebook.

The Hallsville High School Bobcat Belles decided to pay tribute to the iconic Chick-fil-A cow mascot by having each member of the dance troupe wear a cow costume.

During the four-minute choreographed routine, the synchronized bovines grooved their way through a mash-up of songs including “Proud to be a Cow” from Sesame Street, “Milkshake” by Kellis, and a Chick-fil-A parody of The Beatles’ “Yesterday.”

The creative crew drew laughs and cheers from the gymnasium crowd during the competition and even more praise on social media, where the video has been viewed over 12 million times and shared 195,000 times as of publication.

Calaway said the novelty dance was supposed to remain a secret — as are all competitive dances the team works on for nationals, KLTV reported. However, the response was so quick and positive that Calaway let it go.

"It kinda blew up! So I was like forget it, go ahead and share away," said Calaway, "Just funny that this is spreading like it is."

Users on Facebook have commented on the video, calling it "amazing" and "awesome."

"I've laughed about this for hours this week," one person wrote.

Calaway said she is proud of the team, who won Grand Champion in the super division, and feel they deserve the recognition.
